Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 691 Debriefing
Under Mu's guidance, they are about to go to one of the most sacred places in heaven - Eden.

That is the core strength of the entire kingdom of heaven and also the important purpose of Xia Xiu's visit this time.

They have to report to Eden and report the latest developments and situations.

The most crucial thing is still about the [Seal] that Xia Xiu got from the Black Horse Knight.

That seal, carrying the power and intentions of the four monarchs, was immediately handed over to Mu when he returned to heaven.

He had never thought of bypassing the Kingdom of Heaven and cooperating directly with the Four Sovereigns. Especially with things related to the Lord of Change, he had to be sufficiently cautious and vigilant.

Handing it over to Mu is not only a trust, but also a respect for the order of the kingdom of heaven and a guarantee for oneself.

He had to let the big boss know that he was not collaborating with the enemy.

The two of them gradually approached the crystal tower where Eden was located.

This crystal tower is one of the most magnificent and purest buildings in heaven.

The tower is crystal clear and is made entirely of extremely pure crystal. Its surface gleams with a faint light, as brilliant as the Milky Way.

The tower rises high into the clouds, and the endless sky is directly connected to the top of the tower.

Light refracts from every corner of the tower, forming countless brilliant light and shadows. The entire tower is a living building of light, with flowing brilliance, tranquility and holiness.

Countless complex runes are inlaid on the surface of the tower. They appear and disappear with the refraction of light, conveying some invisible message to the outside world.

[The collaborative matrix has been activated——

> Thaumaturgical energy channel opening...

...Connecting to headquarters database...

> Found 2 matches for the target identity.

...The document is being retrieved...

>Analysis completed! Start the next step...】

The two paused in front of the tower, and then Xia Xiu and Mu went through a series of strict identity verifications.

The main door of the Crystal Tower slowly opened, responding to the arrival of the two.

The two men holding swords stepped through the gate.

When Xia Xiu and Mu stepped into the main entrance of the crystal tower, a strong rainbow light flashed before their eyes.

The light was so dazzling that it instantly swallowed the two people's vision.

At that moment, the space they were in began to ripple slightly, as if the entire structure of reality was distorted, the ground beneath their feet was no longer stable, and the surrounding scenes began to become blurry and unreal.

Then, the space seemed to be pushed by an invisible force and moved rapidly.

Their bodies did not feel any violent shaking, but their consciousness was clearly aware of the brevity and transcendence of this journey.

When the two opened their eyes again, the world around them had completely changed - they came to an extremely pure and boundless white space.

This space has no end, and it is surrounded by pure white, like an endless white ocean. There is no color or shape to break the silence.

There is no sky or earth here, only endless white, as if all dimensions of external existence have been stripped away, leaving only the most essential void.

"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity—"

This is the way of destiny.

A [miracle] created by the power that unconsciously flows out of the origin of Eden.

Xia Xiu glanced around. Even though this was his second time stepping into this space of fateful echoes, he still felt a sense of amazement.

This space was different from any forbidden magic area he had ever seen - here, all supernatural factors were completely suppressed, even more thoroughly than in a forbidden magic area.

Any attempt to use extraordinary powers will be instantly turned into nothingness here. All abnormal and supernatural powers will be swallowed up by this pure white and return to their original normal state.

This thorough purification made Xia Xiu feel a subtle sense of discomfort. Although he was accustomed to all kinds of powerful magic fields in the Kingdom of Heaven, he could still feel the limitations of his own power in this white space. Even the extraordinary self deep in his heart was restricted or stripped away in part.

In contrast, Mu seemed calm and composed, as if he had long been accustomed to this empty area.

His expression was still calm and composed. It was obvious that he was a frequent visitor here and had long been accustomed to the power and restrictions here.

Is this your second visit? Are you still not used to it? " Mu's voice was calm and gentle, but there was a hint of teasing in his words.

Xia Xiu shrugged and smiled slightly, his eyes still alert: "It's still a bit... This feeling is like being stripped of all external power and standing naked in front of the truth." Although he responded easily, he still remained vigilant enough about the power of this space in his heart.

Just as the two sword-wielding men were talking, there was suddenly a slight fluctuation around them.

A pure white ball of light emerged from nothingness and floated in the air, as if it was the extension and incarnation of this space.

It has no obvious light source, and emits a soft white light throughout its body. It is not dazzling at all. Instead, it is like an eternal star, emitting a warm and calm glow, illuminating a small space around it.

The ball of light spun gently, and as it appeared, the surrounding white space seemed to become more peaceful.

Then, a ethereal and unusually clear voice suddenly rang out in their consciousness, as if it came from an endless void, but with a profound sense of authority.

[This meeting has been marked, and the content of the meeting has been encrypted at multiple levels——]

This is Eden's voice, with a sacred and ethereal feeling, and full of rationality and order, as if every word has been precisely calculated and logically verified.

Eden's voice was conveyed directly into the consciousness of both of them.

This sound has no specific source, but seems to come from every corner of the entire pure white space at the same time, making people feel a grand existence that spreads throughout the heaven and earth.

The ball of light continued to float gently in the air, and as it moved, the ethereal voice rang in the ears of the two again, like a breeze.

[Here, Eden sends his greetings to the two sword bearers——]

【The operation of the kingdom of heaven cannot be separated from your loyalty and dedication. 】

[Mr. Abraham, are you ready to report to Heaven? ]

Xia Xiu subconsciously adjusted the way he held the silver cane, tightening his fingers slightly and feeling the cold metal texture of the cane.

Although this was one of the countless conversations he had with Eden, this was his second conversation with the projection of the divine glory of Eden himself.

"I'm ready." Xia Xiu nodded towards the ball of light.

【Begin job description——】

As Eden's voice echoed, the entire pure white space seemed to become increasingly quiet.

[The contents of this report will be saved in the encrypted archives of the Kingdom of Heaven. Encrypted permissions are limited to the top three levels of [Cherubim] and [Seraphim]——]

Xia Xiu slightly adjusted the way he held the silver cane, took a deep breath, and fixed his gaze on the ball of light in front of him.

He knew that every word he said next would be strictly analyzed by the highest level of heaven.

"It's been a month since my last job report." Xia Xiu spoke in a steady voice with a hint of calm contemplation. "The last time I came here was because of the Iberia incident, which happened last year."

He shrugged lightly, with a hint of helplessness, "I didn't expect that a month later, I would be standing here again."

At this point, Xia Xiu's tone paused slightly, his thoughts were working rapidly, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.

It is very rare for an angel to need to be summoned back to the fourth level by Eden to report in person.

It wasn't long since he last reported here. That was on December 12 last year. At that time, his report was related to [Mu Continent] and [King of Volcano].

However, just one month later - on January 1, he stood here again, facing Eden.

The last time I reported on my work, it involved the stars and Iberia, and this time it was also due to a deep and complex power issue - the Four Monarchs and the New Sarkites.

The weight of the two reports is almost incomparable.

Xia Xiu took a deep breath and began to describe in detail his work in Hell's Kitchen and those complicated events.

These are just brief reports, the real focus is what happens afterwards.

"Next, it's about Green Sun and the awakening of the Inner Temple." Xia Xiu briefly reported on his work in the Administration Bureau, and then got to the point of this report. He began to review the fall of Green Sun from beginning to end.

He presents the events from beginning to end as clearly as possible, especially regarding the visions of the awakening of the Adytum and the aftermath of the fall of the Green Sun.

Every detail has been carefully considered without any omissions - from Green Day's manipulation of the genetic plan and attempts to control their destiny to their final failure and downfall, Xia Xiu has done a detailed review.

"The most crucial part is that the power of the Four Lords begins to gradually emerge, especially the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse they transformed into."

Xia Xiu's voice deepened as he mentioned his communication with the four monarchs and the fragmentary information he had obtained from them.

Although these messages appear to be full of hostility and temptation, they hide their true purpose.

He then explained in detail the [Seal] he had obtained from the Black Horse Knight, emphasizing its potential threat.

He then talked about the clues found on the night ship, especially the existence of the Black Stone Fortress.

As Xia Xiu continued to report, Mu on the side had been listening quietly. Although his expression was calm, when Xia Xiu mentioned the Apocalypse War, a deep cold light flashed in his eyes.

The pair of pupils with a red-gold luster appeared particularly sharp under the reflection of the light ball.

His right hand gently held the cane, and his fingertips moved slightly, as if he was thinking about some profound question.

"Regarding the cooperation in killing the Red King," Xia Xiu continued to report, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, "This seems to be another key point guided by the Four Lords. They obviously hope to achieve some far-reaching purpose through this method."

He reviewed the last important clue and expressed his speculation about the Blackstone Fortress:

"At the same time, I suspect that the Four Lords deliberately leaked information about Blackstone Fortress, especially... about the Eye of the Vortex star region that appeared on the map of Fortress No. 1."

Xia Xiu stopped reporting his work, as he had already reported all the key parts to Eden.

The ball of light slowly rotated in front of them, and the silence in the space became deeper.

[The work report has been archived——]

The ball of light slowly rotated in front of Xia Xiu and Mu. The faint light reflected on their faces, and the space around them became increasingly quiet.

The entire white world seemed to be in silent contemplation. Xia Xiu's report was being parsed, analyzed, and filed in Eden's core storage. In this silent atmosphere, Mu suddenly spoke, breaking the oppressive silence.

"Have you seen the star map of the Eye of Terror from Alex?"

Mu's voice was still calm, with a hint of casual inquiry, but there was a secret light flashing in his eyes, waiting for Xia Xiu's reaction.

Xia Xiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and understood what Mu meant by the "Eye of Fear".

"You mean the vortex near Cadia that tears apart the border between reality and the ether... Well, the name 'Eye of Terror' is quite appropriate."

He nodded slightly, the disturbing image flashing quickly through his mind.

That was the virtual star map he saw from Alex, the chief of the Alchemical Engineering Department, which showed an abnormal celestial body near the Cadia star region.

The vortex called the "Eye of Terror" is an extremely conspicuous existence on the star map.

Even in the sophisticated virtual display, it looked like a huge rift in the galaxy, tearing the boundary between reality and the ether. The entire vortex was like a burning nebula, surrounded by strange purple and green warp energy fluctuations, swallowing everything around it.

The core of the vortex is even more terrifying. The deep darkness is like a bottomless abyss, completely absorbing all light from the universe.

It seems still on the star map, but it exudes an aura of destruction that cannot be ignored, like a crack connected to an unknown force. The moment you peek into it, you will be dragged into endless fear and madness by the vortex-like force.

On the virtual star map, the 'Eye of Terror' is like a wound in the galaxy, with the outer edge surrounded by energy waves of the subspace and the center being a bottomless vortex of darkness.

Mu's voice continued to echo in the white void, calm but revealing deep power: "The Eye of Terror is one of the main strongholds of the Four Lords. They are using the energy there to erode the world through ether cracks." His voice was steady, as if describing some long-existing threat, implying countless unresolved histories and crises.

Xia Xiu listened, frowned slightly, and his thoughts were drawn to a deeper level.

His eyes were sharp and focused, and he asked, "Has Heaven ever observed the Eye of Terror before? How well do we know about it?"

Mu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, looking into the void, recalling those long-buried files and decisions:

"I guess so. As early as the last resolution meeting, the members of the so-called 'Demon King' had several topics concerning the analysis of the Four Lords."

His tone was a little heavier, with a hint of the past, "They did observe the approximate location of the 'Eye of Terror', which was even more accurate than the coordinates we obtained from the Night Ship..."

Mu paused, as if weighing how to continue telling this long and obscure history.

Xia Xiu keenly caught the hidden meaning in Mu's words. His inner curiosity grew stronger. He stared at Mu, waiting for him to continue.

"However, due to some reasons, all the files related to the Eye of Terror were sealed."

Mu continued, his voice low and somewhat helpless, "Not only the files, but also the records related to the Super Astronomy Department have been completely deleted."

When Xia Xiu heard this, countless questions immediately popped up in his mind.

What kind of reason would prompt Heaven to seal up such important information?

The Super Astronomy Department is the core department responsible for interstellar intelligence, but even their records have been deleted. This is obviously not just an ordinary decision, and there must be more unknown forces involved behind it.

Mu glanced at Xia Xiu, seemed to have guessed his thoughts, nodded slightly, and continued:
"I didn't expect that this time, Green Day's incident would dig out the Eye of Terror again, and also attach the Black Stone Fortress, which we have to pay attention to."

Xia Xiu was silent for a moment, and quickly sorted out the clues in his mind.

The fall of Green Day and his confrontation with the Four Monarchs seemed to reopen old scores between Heaven and the Four Monarchs.

Then, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"'Some reasons' led to the file being sealed? Can I know? Or can you just briefly mention it?"

There was a meaningful smile in Mu's eyes, as if he had already expected Xia Xiu to ask this question.

"You are actually qualified to access this matter. It is not even ruled out that these matters will be handed over to you in the future."

His eyes became more steadier and his voice became deeper, as if he was about to reveal a secret that had been hidden for a long time.

"The reason why the files of the Eye of Terror were sealed was because some members of the Demon King's army... collaborated with the Prince of Pleasure."

Xia Xiu's brows twitched slightly, and he was shocked.

This sentence contains a huge amount of information.

Collaborating with Prince Joy?
It is unbelievable that a councillor of the Kingdom of Heaven would cooperate with one of the Four Monarchs!
Ok……

Why does it feel like deja vu?

But Mu seemed to be stating a piece of history that had already been determined, and there was not much emotion on his face.

This is an unavoidable reality.

Mu continued: "Their cooperation involves experiments such as 'artificial humans'."

Hearing this, Xia Xiu's heart suddenly shook, and he instantly thought of some not-so-glorious past events.

The 0-13 record doesn't seem to be a bad one.

If you fight a dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself.
Gazing into the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back.

Xia Xiu suppressed his curiosity and shock and tried his best to stay calm.

He knew that no matter how fascinating the history of the demon kings was, the focus now was still on the current threats and dilemmas.

He quickly refocused the topic on the 'Eye of Terror', trying to clarify the key points.

"Why does Chaos only stay in the area outside the Eye of Terror? What is restricting them?"

Xia Xiu's tone was full of doubt and vigilance.

He knew that the power of the Four Lords was far beyond the ordinary, and they should not be limited to a specific area. It was obvious that there was some unknown force at work.

Mu was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to describe this complicated situation.

After a moment, he finally spoke, but the answer he gave made Xia Xiu shudder.

"Maybe it's because their 'feed mill' isn't big enough."

Mu's tone was calm, yet it carried an unfathomable chill.

Xia Xiu's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but repeat it:
"Feed mill..."

This word carries with it an indescribable fear, as if revealing some cruel truth behind the power of the Four Monarchs.

There was a hint of gloom in Mu's deep eyes, and his voice became low:
"Yes, a feed mill. The power of Chaos requires a constant supply, and humans...maybe just one of their countless feeds."

Mu continued to talk about the intelligence about the Eye of Terror. "The demon kings have done a lot of research on the Eye of Terror. They once obtained a special abnormal item - a stone used to protect themselves from the corruption of the Prince of Pleasure."

"Stone?" Xia Xiu couldn't help but become very interested in this stone.

An item that could resist the corruption of the Prince of Pleasure sounds extremely valuable and dangerous.

However, before he could ask any questions, Mu went on to reveal an even more shocking clue.

"Moreover, the demon kings once learned about the formation of the Eye of Terror through some unknown means. It may have some causal relationship with the formation of the 'Crystal Sky' at the end of the Glorious Era and the birth of the Prince of Pleasure."

After hearing Mu's words, Xia Xiu fell into a brief contemplation, and couldn't help but recall the conversation between himself and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He gradually began to believe that the Four Lords were not purely hostile, and at least in some aspects, they showed a certain sincerity of "cooperation".

Although the means and purposes of the Four Monarchs were full of dangers, Xia Xiu felt that perhaps at some deeper level, there was a basis for cooperation between the two sides.

Therefore, he decided to speak frankly about his real core purpose besides this performance report.

Xia Xiu looked at Mu firmly and asked:

"The seal given to me by the Black Horse Knight, and the apocalyptic war they mentioned...how should we understand it?"

Mu's eyes sank slightly. He did not respond to Xia Xiu immediately, but slowly turned his head and looked towards Eden's ball of light.

Xia Xiu also turned his head and looked at the ball of light floating in the pure white space.

Just as the two finished their conversation, ripples suddenly began to appear on the surface of the light ball, as if responding to their questions.

The light of the light ball flickered slightly, and then a dark shadow slowly emerged from the light ball and gradually appeared in front of Xia Xiu.

That is the Seal given by the Black Horse Knight.

It is shaped like a scroll with runes on the inside and outside, and a black wax seal is attached to the outside of the scroll.

There is a scale printed in the center of the wax seal, but one end of the scale is slightly tilted, which seems to symbolize some kind of imbalance and instability.

Fine cracks can be vaguely seen on the surface of the wax seal, as if the seal is slowly breaking.

Even more bizarre is the fact that the edge of the seal is engraved with withered grains, like a symbol of death and decay.

In addition to these initial features, the surface of the scroll is also wrapped with circles of thorny scroll tape, making the entire object appear even more mysterious and dangerous.

Xia Xiu carefully took the [Seal] revealed by Eden and felt this object full of unknown power.

Its cold touch passed through the gloves to his palms, making him involuntarily tense up.

At this moment, Eden's ethereal voice sounded again, breaking the silence in the space:
[The seven seals have a strict order of disclosure, and the one in your hand is the third seal.]

[This seal has been confirmed by the Supreme Program and has been resealed. The Kingdom of Heaven only retains its ability to perceive the Chaos Perfect Embryo. Other related tests and internal contamination have been completely cleared——]

Xia Xiu looked down at the [Seal] in his hand, pondering Eden's words.

Although it has been resealed and the pollution and crisis seem to be under control, it is still an object that cannot be underestimated.

Meanwhile, Eden continued,
[The matter of the Apocalypse War is a top secret of the Kingdom of Heaven. Only a few people including the Resolution Assembly 0-01 and His Majesty Mu know about it. The specific content cannot be revealed now——]

Xia Xiu's eyes met Mu's, trying to get more information from those deep eyes. However, Mu just sighed slightly and gave him an apologetic look. That look carried both the care of an elder and an unspeakable helplessness.

"Kid, knowing too much is not good for you and me now."

Mu spoke slowly, his voice low and calm, with a mysterious meaning, reminding Xia Xiu not to delve into the truth that has not yet been revealed.

Mu's words were not just an excuse, but a kind reminder.

The true details of the Apocalypse War were too much for him to bear in his current position.

The Kingdom of Heaven has strict authority control over this. Even though he is the fourth sword bearer, he still cannot easily peek into the truth in this darkness.

The strong curiosity in his heart was now suppressed by the heavy seals of reality.

Xia Xiu nodded slightly and said calmly:

"I understand."

No matter how passionate his curiosity was, he couldn't get any more clues from Mu or Eden.

This may not only be a restriction on his power, but also because these secrets involve the nature of heaven and may even shake the order of the entire universe.

Xia Xiu lowered his head in silence and glanced at the seal with thorns and cracks in his hand. It symbolized the intentions of the four monarchs. Perhaps it was some kind of temptation, but it was more like an unsolved mystery.

Without a deeper understanding of the Apocalypse War, this mark will continue to be an unsettling factor in his future path.

【This report is over! 】

At this moment, Eden's ethereal and mechanical voice sounded again in the pure white space, like a clear instruction, pulling Xia Xiu back to reality from his deep thoughts.

As the voice fell, the familiar rainbow light once again enveloped Xia Xiu and Mu. The light flowed like a bridge through time and space, bringing them back from this pure white world to a more complex reality.

This report trip to Heaven is over, and it is time for the Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven to return to the world.

Start your own...

Social life.
